This comprehensive introduction to the principles underlying laser light scattering focuses on the time dependence of fluctuations in fluid systems. It also serves as an introduction to the theory of time correlation functions, with chapters on projection operator techniques in statistical mechanics. Wide-ranging discussions of numerous applications make this volume of interest to research chemists, physicists, biologists, medical and fluid mechanics researchers, engineers, and grad students. Over 60 text figures. 1976 ed.
